"Haha, didn’t Master Qiao mention something similar to us before?" Luo Cheng exclaimed.

"In a person’s lifetime, how many chances do they have to make a fortune and turn their life around?"

"When such an opportunity arises, we must seize it! Missing out on such an opportunity would be a great loss," someone else added.

"Master Qiao, please don’t stop me, I really want to make money with Master Qiao."

As Qiao Mu listened, his heart gradually grew colder.

The people from the Luo family are not stupid, they are actually involved in the business of making money through deception.

They are investing money so actively now because they want to benefit from his new and clever tricks, believing that Master Luo can help them make a lot of profit.

"In that case, you may do as you wish." Qiao Mu stopped advising and allowed Luo Cheng and the others to put money into his purse.

"Making money can be boring." Qiao Mu left the ancestral hall and, as expected, saw a woman wearing a straw hat at the entrance of an alley once again.

This time, Qing Li no longer held a bamboo staff in her hand, but a metal-crafted spear.

"Master Qiao, are you still doing your Taotie Gold lending business? I would like to lend you another one hundred taels." Qing Li’s voice came from under the straw hat.

Her voice was very cold and distant, showing no intention of getting closer to Qiao Mu, just like the first time they met, only raising the spear in her hand absentmindedly.

"Today I’ve changed to an iron spear, I have come specifically to test your skills."

…………………………….

This went on for several days.

The appearance of the Demon Spear Qin Li was also very regular, but she seemed to be short on money.

She gave a thousand coins the first time, then a hundred, and later just gave ten coins at a time.

Sometimes appearing once a day, sometimes three or four times a day, making Qiao Mu almost think he was engaged in a special profession…

On the third day.

Qiao Mu sat quietly in the inn, recalling the experiences of sparring with Qing Li several times.

In his fifty years of dreaming, Qiao Mu also carefully studied the book "Birds Adoring the Phoenix Spear" left by Spear Saint and that martial arts knowledge.

"According to Spear Saint’s understanding of martial arts, martial arts can actually be divided into two types of techniques."

"One is physical power techniques, and the other is internal strength control techniques."

"The former is about using power, while the latter is about using inner strength."

Before the "Human Path Sutra" was introduced, ancient martial arts were divided into internal and external styles, but top martial artists mostly focused on inner strength.

After all, as the body ages and vitality declines, even if one excels in external martial arts, it cannot compare to those born with strong bloodlines like half-demons or pure-blooded demons.

Qiao Mu was the same.

He relied mainly on his signature moves, the Ripple Stacking Wave Strength, and the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method.

The Ripple Stacking Wave Strength is a highly challenging internal strength technique, while the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method sacrifices vital energy and blood in exchange for multiple times the increase in internal strength.

Qiao Mu also mastered Stacking Wave Strength to the level of Fivefold Wave and had already perfected the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method.

When it comes to the skills of using internal strength, he was one of the very best in the entire Jiu Province.

Qing Li, being a half-demon, chose a different path, focusing on strengthening her physical body.

If we compare martial artists’ power techniques to the four sides of a barrel.

The top martial artists on the list each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Qing Li is unique in that she doesn’t possess internal strength.

However, due to this, she has dedicated her time to mastering the techniques of strengthening her physical body, achieving great success in this area.

At the top of the Western Mountain, a weakened soul of Qing Li, who was clearly weaker than Wu Qiankun, was able to engage with him for a long time, showcasing her exceptional spear skills and physical strength techniques.

"In the company of three, there must be one I can learn from. If one can master Qing Li’s physical strength techniques, it would be like filling a gap."

Qiao Mu opened his eyes and looked outside the window.

At that moment, the chubby cat suddenly jumped in from the window. These days, the chubby cat had been coming and going early and late, following Qiao Mu’s orders to search for other people who had contact with the monsters from Golden Village in Taotie City, and it was not without results.

It was still early in the dimly lit sky, with a faint white glow in the east. Taotie City was still shrouded in morning mist, with hardly any pedestrians in sight.

"It’s almost time to hit the road."

Qiao Mu counted his money. During these days, he had earned a total of tens of thousands of silver coins from the Luo family members and Demon Spear Qin Li.

For a clan in a small mountain city, this was quite a large amount… it also hinted at the wealth of the Luo family.

Taking advantage of the early morning light, Qiao Mu leaped up and transformed into a wisp of light smoke, disappearing into the alley.

As he emerged from the alley once again, his face had already changed into a completely unfamiliar one.

………………………………..

On the first day after Qiao Mu left, the villagers of Taotie City didn’t take it too seriously, but they missed having Master Qiao around.

Only someone as clever as Luo Cheng, who sent someone to the inn where Qiao Mu was staying to ask about Master Qiao’s whereabouts, discovered that he had already disappeared without a trace.

The next day, Old Yang and others still held onto hope, comforting themselves that Master Qiao had urgent business to attend to and was probably arguing with others on the way.

On the third day, fourth day…

The news of Master Qiao fleeing with the money had completely exploded, sweeping through the whole city of Taotie City, becoming the most talked-about topic.

"Qiao Pian, I curse you to have a terrible death! You will perish within three days, not a whole body left!"

"I curse you to have your body exposed in the wilderness, eaten by demonic beasts after death! How dare you take away my money! Is this fair to us?"

Gambler Old Yang broke pots and pans in his own home, fuming with anger and not in a light mood.

On the other hand, the son of Old Yang’s family, who worked as an assistant at Shanzhen Tower, was much calmer than his gambling father:

"Dad, calm down. Let me do the math for you. Since Qiao Pian arrived in Taotie City, you’ve earned twenty silver pieces by collecting stones, and some Taotie Gold as well, right?"

"All this money, I would have to work at the biggest inn in town for half a lifetime to earn it. You’re not at a loss, are you?"

"Why not at a loss?" Old Yang was still upset:

"I lent a total of three Taotie Gold to that man named Qiao, that’s real gold! Taotie Gold!"

"I should have made a big profit, but he ran off halfway through, leaving me with just this little bit. Shouldn’t I curse him for it?"

Old Yang’s son was speechless, realizing that his own father thought he had earned too little and was cursing someone out…

…………………………..

The news of Qiao Mu running away naturally reached the ears of the leader of the Luo family, who had been following the matter closely.

The leader of the Luo family was in a good mood today.

"The troublesome Qiao family member finally ran away, and his reputation in this city is completely ruined."

The leader of the Luo family didn’t have a good way to deal with Qiao Mu, especially since even the city lord advised them not to provoke him. What else could he do?

"The Qiao family member has already fled, causing chaos in the whole Taotie City. I guess our golden business will be difficult in the future." With this thought, the leader of the Luo family felt frustrated.

Qiao Mu’s deceitful tactics are like burning bridges, not only running away himself but also blocking the paths of others who come after him.

In the following years, the mountain people of Taotie City are all worried about the gold, let alone letting our Luo family meddle in the gold business.

"Forget it, there is no use dwelling on the past." the leader of the Luo family thought.

"We need to consider carefully how our Luo family will conduct business in the future and which direction to take."

"Let’s hold a meeting in the ancestral hall to brainstorm ideas with our clan members."

Half a day later.

In the hall of the Luo family’s ancestral shrine, a crowd of people gathered.

Many of the Luo family’s people, including the merchant Luo Cheng, had expressions like they had just lost their father, their faces turning green.

"Don’t just stand there." The clan chief tapped the ground with a cane, making a crisp sound:

"The Philosopher’s Stone and gold have been taken away by the Qiao family. We won’t be able to do gold business in the next few years… What kind of business the Luo clan should do in the future is a big issue."

"Luo Cheng, you are a merchant and have seen a lot. You speak first," the clan chief said.

However, at this moment, Luo Cheng’s face turned even greener. He hesitated for a while and finally shook his head, saying:

"Clan chief, don’t worry about the family business… We don’t have any spare money now."

"That’s right…" Luo Cheng spoke up, and other members of the Luo family also started to speak:

"It’s all because of the Demon Spear Qin Li, colluding with that despicable Qiao Pian!"

"I regret trusting that Qing Li; who knew they were in cahoots!"

"Who would’ve thought Qiao Pian would run away so soon; I hadn’t even had the chance to grow my network and reach the next level."

The leader of the Luo family was puzzled.

"What level? Who is Qing Li?"

As he listened, he gradually guessed what was happening and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You all kept it from me, secretly being swindled by someone named Joe for money?"

"How can we say swindled…" The trader, Luo Cheng, looked a bit embarrassed.

"It’s just business, we only faced losses. In business, who hasn’t faced losses before?"

"Logically speaking, Qiao Pian’s business had just started and clearly had potential for profit. I wonder why as soon as it started, he ran away?"

"What business? What did you discuss with that man named Qiao?" The clan leader frowned.

As Luo Cheng narrated Qiao Mu’s business secrets in detail, the clan leader’s eyes widened, and he unconsciously placed a hand over his heart, feeling short of breath.

"You’ve been chasing geese all day and now you’ve been pecked in the eye by a goose."

"Greed clouded your judgment, thinking you could easily escape the scam… and falling victim to such an obvious trick…"

"Clan leader, please calm down. We knew it was a scam," Luo Cheng smiled bitterly. "We just didn’t expect Qiao Pian to run away so quickly."

"You know nothing!" The clan leader’s chest heaved, his eyes bulging round, as he sternly declared:

"This scam wasn’t meant to deceive the common folks; it was specifically aimed at our Luo family, a case of wolves preying on wolves! Utilizing sophisticated tricks to target our Luo family for deception."

"During this time, the townspeople either received some silver or Taotie Gold from Qiao Pian, but in reality, they were duped into picking stones and wasting time. Only those experienced in deceit like our Luo family were deliberately approached by Qiao Pian for collaboration…"

"What makes you think he approached you, just based on your arrogance?"

The village leader stayed out of the situation, but still managed to solve the mystery of the Luo family’s people.

"It’s over now, saying these things won’t help," the leader sighed.

"How much did you lose? How much do you still have… What? You lost ten thousand pieces?"

The leader was speechless for a moment. Ten thousand silver pieces, almost all the money earned by the family through gold business over the years, was almost lost…

He suddenly felt short of breath, and couldn’t help but think back to the day when he first met Qiao Mu in the ancestral hall.

The leader of the Luo family at that time had strong faith in the legend of Golden Village.

The leader at that time said that faith was a powerful force…and he truly believed it.

But now, it seemed that only he truly believed in the gold of Golden Village within the whole Luo family. The rest were just opportunists, that’s why they were tricked by Qiao Mu.

In the end, Qiao Mu deceived everyone by creating fake Taotie Gold right under his nose, causing a huge turmoil in the city in just a few days…

This was done intentionally in front of him, using false means to deceive him.

"A group of fools… greedy like a snake that gulps down an elephant!" The leader of the Luo family threw away his cane and staggered a few steps before his mouth turned sweet, he spat out a mouthful of blood, suddenly feeling dizzy.

……………

When the leader of the Luo family woke up again, he found himself back in his own home.

What made his heart beat fast was the fact that there were no other members of his clan in his home, only a familiar figure standing by his bed, watching him expressionlessly.
